I am creating a custom web server that is designed to serve a single page, regardless of the request URL:
- www.example.com/
- www.example.com/spam/eggs/spam/?ID=eggs
- foo.example.com/
- ...
I am using a wildcard DNS entry to handle the subdomains, but I'm wondering about the best way to handle the page requests.
My first thought was simply to have no pages on the site and create a custom 404 page which was the page I wanted to serve, but I thought that losing an error page might have problems in the future, not to mention sending a 404 error to the client might have effects I am not aware of. Should I be using mod-rewrite instead?
How would you do this? 404, mod_rewrite, or?
